Today's project is a candle and matching gift card that I've made using JustRite's From Our House stamp set. I stamped the center and border in Memento Tuxedo Black onto some Tissue Paper and coloured with Copic Markers (R24, R29, G24, G28, Y17). I then cut the tissue paper close and then placed it on the candle with some waxed paper over the top to keep it smooth and flat and melted the tissue paper into the candle with my heat gun. Then I decided to make a matching gift card for it and once again used the From Our House set, stamping it in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and also coloured it with Copic Markers (R24, R29, R39, G12, G24, G28, Y15, Y17). It was cut out with Large Square Nestabilities and matted it with Riding Hood Red cut with Lacey Squares Nestabilities and popped up on foam tape. The base is made of Riding Hood Red, White, Cosmo Cricket Jolly by Golly DP and on the corners I've added some white ribbon.

this is a brilliant idea and I am going to try it soon soon soon. Expect a call from the U.S. with detailed trouble shooting - how many hours are you ahead again??? don't want to wake you up at 3:00am with my melting candle wax issues *lol*Hugs

Kathy, I just saw your card and candle. Boy what a nice job on both of them but I really like what you did with the candle. I never would have thought to use the heat gun to adhere the image to the candle. Nice how we learn from others on the internet.
